Pokémon GO’s Season of Memories in Motion is focused on celebrating the game’s 10th anniversary (or, at least leading up to the big day, as the season shall end a month before the game’s actual anniversary). One of this season’s features is Daily Discoveries, where different events and/or perks will…
During the Pokémon GO’s Season of Max Out (Tuesday, September 3rd, 2024 to Tuesday, December 3rd, 2024), Dynamax and Gigantamax Pokémon were added to the game. This mechanic is part of Pokémon’s Generation VIII (Pokémon Sword and Shield) where Pokémon transform into “giant” versions of themselves or even new larger…
Another Mega-Evolved Pokémon is joining Pokémon GO during the Season of Memories in Motions and it’s Falinks! Though, instead of this being a standard Mega Raid Day, Mega Falinks will debut in Super Mega Raids. These Raids are more difficult than Mega Raids and will require your own team of…
Welcome back to our coverage of the Octopath Traveler demo! Last time we covered the tales of Ophilia and Primrose, and this time we’re wrapping up the prologues of the eight protagonists as we take a look at our last two stars, the gregarious, genial Alfyn and the astute, stately…
Welcome back to our series of Octopath Traveler impressions! Last time we dove into the tales of the muscular H’aanit and Olberic, still enjoying the game greatly while starting to pick up on some little flaws. This time we’ll be examining some of the fairer members of the cast, as…
Welcome back to our series of impressions of the Octopath Traveler demo! Last time, we covered the start of the stories of Tressa and Therion, and began delving into the basics of the battle mechanics. This time, we’ll be taking a look at the beefier members of the cast, as…
When it was announced with brief footage at the Switch reveal event in January 2017, I was immediately interested in Octopath Traveler. With a unique art style, a focus on a wide cast of characters, and the knowledge that it was being handled by the Bravely Default team, the game…
Bravely Default II has been available for a few weeks now, but I still find myself focusing on Project Triangle Strategy’s demo. Say what you will about the amount of time it got last Nintendo Direct, those sprites are gorgeous and it at once feels new and familiar. Of course,…
This week’s Nintendo Direct introduced us to Square Enix’s HD-2D follow up to Octopath Traveler, tentatively titled “Project Triangle Strategy.” They wasted no time giving us a sample of this new project, with a demo going live after the Direct had finished, with the promise of a survey for feedback…
In my view, JRPGs post-2000s or so can go about three directions: throwback, anime, or something new. In fact, sometimes they’re a combination of those things. (Xenoblade Chronicles 2, until now undoubtedly the big name among Switch games in the genre, is all three at once, somehow.) While the derision…
It’s July, Nintendo fans! It’s time for barbecues, late summer sunsets, and, of course, new video games. There’s plenty of good stuff coming to Nintendo systems this month, so let’s dive right in! July 2nd If you like the lobs and volleys of Mario Tennis Aces, you might also…
